Information Security and Data Protection Legal and Policy Frameworks Applicable to European Union Institutions and Agencies

---

This study examines the legal and policy frameworks that govern and regulate the use of information and communications technology (ICT) by European Union (EU) institutions and agencies. Specifically, it maps and reviews these frameworks in terms of the extent to which they account for information security and data privacy.
The study pursues a two-fold research approach. First, it offers a largely descriptive account of the existing legal and policy frameworks that govern and regulate the use of ICT by EU institutions and agencies, summarising in particular those legal provisions and policy documents that address information security and data privacy issues.
Second, the study offers some general observations based on the summary of legal and policy frameworks that regulate and govern the use of ICT by EU institutions and agencies. Significantly, these observations are neither intended to amount to a comprehensive analysis of existing EU legal and policy instruments on information security and data privacy, nor are they meant to provide any recommendations for EU policy- making. Instead, they aim to build a general understanding of the way in which relevant EU legal and policy frameworks might affect the adoption of new technologies by EU institutions and agencies. More fundamentally, it is hoped that by mapping and summarising, in an accessible format, the canon of relevant EU legal and policy frameworks, this study will create a greater awareness of the conditions under which ICT is used within EU institutions and agencies.
